Stewed pears, I actually don’t know if this is something typically Dutch. But if this is the case, it’s time for a change! Pears stewed in red wine with orange and cinnamon are the best! Try them out and taste the warmth and sweetness of winter!
Ingredients for 4 pers.:
- 8 Gieser Wildeman pears
- 2 oranges
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 tablespoons of dark caster sugar
- 500 ml red wine
How to prepare it:
Peel off the skin of the pears but leave the core and the stalks. Take a big stewing pan that is big enough so that the pears can stand up straight next to each other. Put all the pears into the pan.
Grate the skin of one of the oranges. Add the skin to the pears. Squeeze the juice of the oranges and add the juice to the pan. Add the red wine, the caster sugar and the cinnamon sticks to the pears.
Put the pan on the stove and heat it up. Let the pears simmer for 2 hours.
Since the pears taste really well both cold as well as warm you can also prepare them a day ahead.
